yeah Tegoshi's a fan of DAIGO 8D & DAIGO even said that he hopes Tegoshi can keep on doing his WISH rock pose xD

& sorry I don't have that pic of Ryo in HQ

in fact I never seen that pic til you posted it o.o

anyway I saw the Sakura Girl PV earlier on my way to the MRT station

the Sakura tree's like the only good thing about the PV LMAO

KoyaShige's like the only 2 that looks good/normal

The rest got their hair fried by curling irons or something , especially Tegoshi

side parting of his hair is

[waterballoon]

^ I'd be really happy if one of the artistes I support is a fan of another... like Ayu and TVXQ! XD

Btw, will they perform Sakura Girl on the TV live?

[KarenPang]

they performed Sakura Girl on MUSIC STATION & they will be on the show again on 2nd April

so most definitely yes

I don't know for Utaban & HEYx3 though

[waterballoon]

Ah I see... so are the covers for Sakura Girl released yet? I was at CDJapan and I couldn't see any covers... if they're not out then please NO fugly hair on any of them!

[KarenPang]

well since it's your 1st time in the Johnny's fandom , you should be aware of this

covers images of their singles , albums , dvds are NOT released on official CD shops due to strict copyright issues that the talent agency issue

the same thing goes for Johnny's magazines . YesAsia & CDJapan do sell them but the images of Johnny's are blanked out

you only can find HQ covers if you request a fangirl to scan them

yeah it's a bit o.o but it's business for you

ok to answer your question , you can see the covers of Sakura Girl @ http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...co_single.html

they're nice though

[waterballoon]

oh cutie cover!

and wow the JE business tactics are so weird! So we can't see any of the covers on online shops and all? that's really weird but at least there are nice fangirls around who would scan the covers and all, I guess~

[KarenPang]

yeah the way the Johnny's Idol business works in Japan , it's weird/strange but I guess it's their own unique way of running the show

I never like to use the tag JE now , it annoys me xD . I used that before but I was a noob & it's only much later on that I realised the word JE = Johnny's Entertainment which's the record label of NEWS & KinKi Kids

The correct tag for me that I will use is Johnny's & Associates which's the name of the talent agency . Record labels such as JStorm , J-One Records & Johnny's Entertainment are all owned by J&A

not all the Johnny's material are released though the 3 record labels though . You got V6 , Tackey & Tsubasa whose works are released via avex trax , SMAP via Victor Entertainment & Kanjani8 via Imperial Records

at the end of the day , all the Johnny's bands are all tied back to their talent agency Johnny's & Associates

[waterballoon]

so it's J&A? lol coolness... at least they know how to satisfy us fans; looking through all the LJ entries of Ryo Nishikido photos make me realize just how much money fangirls are gonna pay to get their postcards/posters/photos/stuff...

[KarenPang]

lol I usually use Johnny's , J&A doesn't really work in my books to me xD

yeah being in a Johnny's fandom , it's a lucrative business , you imagine how much $ fangirls are willing to spent on their Idols D:

that's why I'm lucky that I got out of it . I was losing myself in there as in the 1st place , I'm in the fandom for the music . Looks & etc are secondary to me

EDIT

Tegoshi was involved in a car accident X_X

http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/5253402.html

he's fine thankfully & so's the taxi driver

[jiarongisme]

Good to know that he's okay.

[KarenPang]

concert tour dates for Tegomass no Ai promo been increased from 32 dates to 38

http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...ta/consta.html

aww yay for pink <3 & cute tour logo too

[jiarongisme]

^ Your last line made me thought that the tour had a new logo or something. XD

But great! More tour dates. Can't wait for the tour reports/DVD.

[waterballoon]

is Tegoshi that member who looks like a cute little boy? I think I only know his name, along with Ryo and Yamapi~

[KarenPang]

haha Jun Xiang you're right I guess

he's the youngest in the group but he's born in the same year as Shige but in terms of birth month , Tegoshi's the youngest

Cute little boy? Do you mean girl?

[KarenPang]

I actually do find him hot from weeek to Happy Birthday

but last year onwards , , he got too tranny for me & no surprises HEYx3's Downtown fire him with more insults than ever before xD

[waterballoon]

omo lol I think he looks like a cute little boy! Seriously he looks like he's 12 XD it's pretty cute if you ask me~

[KarenPang]

haha

Tegoshi & Shige are the same age as me ie. 23

Shige looked X___X when he was younger but he looked fabulous now . He's the brains of the group & I considered him very under-rated in the group

Then again he's studying law in Uni so it's no surprises . He actually applied & wanted to go to Keio University but he wasn't able to enter so he entered into Aoyama University instead

Massu? I think Massu is much cuter than Tego, he has very chubby cheeks and smile alot
